Duanmu Yu smiled and said while shaking his head. “No. The Three Great Exalted Celestials are all people of legend; it is extremely hard for one to encounter them. As for the Mountain Sea Palace, it is the only temporary residence of the Three Great Exalted Celestials that they publicly announced to the world. Merely, the chance for the Three Great Exalted Celestials to appear in the Mountain Sea Palace is extremely low. However… they would definitely know, should we appear in the Mountain Sea Palace.”

Regarding this, Qin Yu also understood.

The Mountain Sea Palace could basically be considered as a residence of the Three Great Exalted Celestials.

Should others arrive at the Three Great Exalted Celestials’ residence, how could they possibly now know of it?

“The Three Great Exalted Celestials would definitely know every single move that we make in the Mountain Sea Palace. If we are capable of obtaining a gift bestowed by them, then we could be considered as having succeeded.” Kuiyin Hou also spoke. He then looked to Zhou Xian while smiling. “Brother Zhou, it seemed that the contest for the spot of the first chosen candidate is very advantageous for you.”

Kuiyin Hou had lived in the Divine Realm for a very long time. Thus, he knew a lot more stuff than Qin Yu. The identity of the Thunder Punishment Godking was naturally something that Kuiyin Hou knew about.

“That’s hard to say. Once one becomes an Exalted Celestial, their temperament would no longer be something that we could forecast. It is still extremely hard for us to be certain that I’ll be able to obtain a gift.” Zhou Xian said modestly.

“Come, let’s not talk about that. After all, there are a total of three chosen candidates. Everyone, let’s just try our best to attain for a spot. As for now, let’s drink.” Kuiyin Hou laughed heartily as he said that.

Inside the Floating Cloud Mansion.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei and Hei Yu were gathered together. After the banquet was over, Qin Yu sent a Divine Awareness Voice Transmission to Uncle Lan to have him send Hei Yu over. Thus, the three brothers managed to have a reunion.

“The two of you, your cultivation speeds are extremely fast. I happen to be the slowest one among us.” Hei Yu deliberately frowned and said.

At this moment, both Qin Yu and Hou Fei had reached the High Level Heavenly Deity level; only Hei Yu was still a Mid Level Heavenly Deity.

“I know of your cultivation speed, Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei, you have been in the Wood Mansion for about six thousand years. That equates to about six million years in the Jiang Lan’s Realm’s third layer space. To reach the Peak Mid Level Heavenly Deity from Low Level Heavenly Deity in six million years, this speed was already very fast.” Qin Yu nodded and said.

“However, Fei Fei, your cultivation speed…” Qin Yu looked to Hou Fei.

Hei Yu’s cultivation method was extremely peculiar. He was even capable of comprehending the temporal laws. Thus, his cultivation speed being fast was granted.

Qin Yu’s clone had been comprehending the comprehension left behind by the Godking of Life at all times. It was also natural for his cultivation speed to be fast. However, what about Hou Fei?

Since the separation they had with each other at the Yuchi City, it had only been approximately twenty thousand years. However, Hou Fei had actually already reached the High Level Heavenly Deity level. His cultivation speed was truly astonishing.

“Haha, regarding this, I am also a bit muddle-headed.” Hou Fei rubbed his head. “At the beginning, it was my Monkey Clan’s senior that took me away. However, after I reached the Asura Sea, in less than a year’s time, that Asura Godking came and said that he wanted to take me in as his disciple. That Monkey Clan’s senior of mine gladly handed me over to the Asura Godking.”

Qin Yu and Hei Yu were carefully listening.

When Hou Fei said to this point, he blinked his eyes a couple times. “After that, the Asura Godking created a space and increased the flow of time in that space by ten thousand fold. Ten thousand years in that space was only a single year outside. Although it seemed that I have only trained for approximately ten thousand years, I have actually already trained for close to a hundred million years. In this nearly a hundred million years, it has always been the Asura Godking who had been guiding me.”

Qin Yu and Hei Yu glanced at each other. They gasped in admiration of Hou Fei’s luck.

Qin Yu suddenly asked in confusion.

“Something’s amiss.” Qin Yu frowned and said. “Fei Fei, according to what I know, if one were to create a space with time disparity, then that space would be very unstable and easily crumble. It is very hard for one to stabilize that space. The greater the time disparity, the harder it would be to stabilize the space.”

Qin Yu looked to Hou Fei. “According to what you said earlier, that Asura Godking had directly created a space and did not used Spatial Divine Artifacts, right?”

“That’s right, he had directly created a space. I am certain of that.” Hou Fei nodded determinedly.

“To maintain a space with a time acceleration of ten thousand times for ten thousand years, this, it is truly incredible.” Qin Yu found it very hard to believe.

When Uncle Lan crafted the Jiang Lan’s Realm, he was only capable of accelerating the time by a thousand fold.

“He is indeed worthy of being called the Number One Godking.” Qin Yu exclaimed in his heart. This Asura Godking was indeed extremely and abnormally amazing.

Hei Yu suddenly said. “Hey, Monkey? I am confused, why would that Asura Godking have you become his disciple for no reason? He even created a space with a time acceleration of ten thousand times for close to ten thousand years? What exactly was he planning?”

Hearing Hei Yu saying this, Qin Yu also grew confused.

What was this Asura Godking planning?

“I am also confused. I have also once asked the Asura Godking, umm my master about it before.” Hou Fei seemed to not be accustomed to calling the Asura Godking master.

“How did the Asura Godking respond?” Qin Yu immediately asked.

A trace of confusion flashed through Hou Fei’s eyes. “Back then, the Asura Godking did not say much. He only said… he was entrusted by someone!”

Qin Yu and Hei Yu looked to each other. They were both confused.

Entrusted by someone?

There was someone who wanted the Asura Godking to help instruct Hou Fei?

Who was this person?

In the entire Divine Realm, how many people were actually capable of having the Asura Godking help them? Furthermore, the Asura Godking was even willing to maintain a space with ten thousand times time acceleration for ten thousand years?

“Someone like the Asura Godking ought to have no reason to lie. Who exactly was it that sought for his help? This secret, I reckon that Fei Fei, you can only search for the answer yourself.” Qin Yu smiled and looked to Hou Fei.

Hou Fei said helplessly. “I also know about that. The Asura Godking had said that when I reach the Godking level, he would tell me about it. Sigh, truly troublesome. It’s Godking level, what did he think it was? Did he think that it’s that easy to become a Godking?”

“Monkey, let’s not talk about this anymore. Big brother still has to set off for the Mountain Sea Palace tomorrow.” Hei Yu smiled and looked to Qin Yu. “Big brother, only eighteen people are going to the Mountain Sea Palace, we won’t be able to accompany you.”

Only the eighteen candidates were allowed to enter into the Mountain Sea Palace. The other people were not allowed to disturb them at all.

“Mountain Sea Palace?’

Qin Yu said in a low voice. “No matter what, I would definitely give my best to try to obtain this chosen candidate spot.” This groom search, Qin Yu must win, defeat was not allowed.

After passing through the Conveying Array below the Floating Snow City, Qin Yu and them directly arrived at the Conveying Array located at the northern extremity of the Divine Realm.

A group of people were gathered on the north coast.

Toward the north was the vast and boundless ocean. One could see various coastal tides from afar.

The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan said in a clear voice to these eighteen candidates. “Everyone, for every round of competition, everyone will have ten years of time to prepare. After ten years, the other Godkings and I will await everyone in the Floating Snow City. If anyone is to be late, then that person will be considered to have forfeited that round of competition.”

There was no Conveying Array from here to the Mountain Sea Palace.

In order to go to the Mountain Sea Palace, one would need to fly toward there.

Merely flying back and forth would require several months. Furthermore, in order to try one’s luck in the Mountain Sea Palace, one would also require a sufficient amount of time. Ten years, it cannot be considered as a long period of time.

“Is everyone ready?” The Utmost North Sage Emperor was filled with smiles. “Well then, everyone, you can set off. Remember, you must return to the Floating Snow City on this date ten years later. You must arrive early, you cannot be late!”

“Your Majesty Sage Emperor, farewell.”

The group of people all bowed and saluted. After that, they all started to step on their weapons and started flying toward the north. As for Qin Yu, he was stepping on the Divine Spear Waning Snow.

The Divine Spear Waning Snow, just by merely looking from the outside, even Godkings would find it difficult to determine its might.

“Dark and Yellow Energy, I reckon not even Godkings have seen it before.” Qin Yu thought in his heart. If one hadn’t seen Dark and Yellow Energy before, then how would one know about the frightening power brought about by it after the assimilating it into weapons?

As for Duanmu Yu, he was the sole person who was flying alongside Qin Yu. The rest of the people had all fallen behind them.

Below them was the boundless ocean. The waves were violently surging. Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu were chatting and laughing as they continued to rapidly fly toward the Mountain Sea Palace.

In a blink of an eye, close to two months passed.

After getting to know each other for close to two months, Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu’s relationship had grown a lot better.

“Brother Qin Yu, it’s best to not have extravagant hope for this round of competition. That Zhou Xian’s advantage is extremely obvious. The most extravagant your hope is, the more disappointed you will be.” Duanmu Yu said to Qin Yu while smiling.

Qin Yu felt as if that this Duanmu Yu, regardless of what he said or did, he didn’t seem to care much about it. He didn’t care if he failed, he didn’t care if he succeeded.

It was like…

There was nothing that could cause him to be angry or surprised.

“Brother Duanmu, I wanted to ask. If you were to not obtain even a single one of the three chosen candidate spots, what would you do?” Qin Yu looked to Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Yu smiled indifferently. “Why did you ask this? If I failed, then I failed, there’s nothing more to it. Furthermore, is failure truly a failure? To comprehend some experiences from one’s failure could also be considered as a success. Thus, failure and success are not absolutely at all.”

Qin Yu cannot refrain himself from shaking his head and smiling helplessly.

“For what reason are you pursuing Li’er?” Qin Yu asked again.

This time around, Duanmu Yu grew silent for a moment before saying. “I suppose it’s because I want to attain a breakthrough to reach the Godking level.”

Qin Yu felt a burst of depression.

Sure enough…

Sure enough, the participants of the groom search, even this Duanmu Yu who Qin Yu thought to be an extremely good person, were all pursuing Li’er in hopes of becoming a Godking.

Qin Yu looked ahead. he saw numerous islands gathered together in picturesque disorder. The amount of islands surrounding the Mountain Sea Palace was extremely numerous. It was known as the ‘Thousand Islands’ and there was over three thousand islands gathered here.

Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu streaked across the sky leaving behind two red lights as they directly flew toward the center island of the three thousand plus islands. The Mountain Sea Palace was located on this island.

tell me about it. the moment they said “whoever gets a gift from an exalted celestial” i was like WHAT THE S**T??!!! at least they should TRY to look impartial. lol this is gonna be funny when they finish with the contest \(O___O)/

by the way they want the groom to be good to their kid but let godkings decide who can marry her? messed up logic RIGHT THERE buddy , some paternal and maternal love there. the game is rigged and funny thing is that everyone knows it.(gifts? YOU FOOLS!! qin yu has plot armor thicker then mt.Tai you don’t stand a chance xD)

now i know why Duanmu Yu got dumped. He had no fire in his heart no passion the man has no negatives everything is a positive win or lose any woman would have felt unloved bored an ornament at his side.

Have you read CD? I’m pretty sure I can guess what’s going on there because of the end of CD.

*CD spoiler* Linmeng and Hongmeng probably want to make sure Qin Yu’s brothers can protect themselves, since Qin Yu is on the path to reaching them and they seem super happy to have Qin Yu on his way up, considering what they did in the IDD plane when they literally wrote him a letter with the universe XD. Summat tells me they’re TOO bored.

hongmeng as in the guy at end of CD???? THEY ARE NOT EXALTED CELESTIAL not linley nor hongmeng. hongmeng personally said that in his main universe he has some levels called exalted celestial that each of them could collapse linley’s plane of existence. so if he created the exalted celestial then he can’t be one himself. so i think that logic is flawed unless you read the raws for next two books and are sure about it.

lol wouldn’t you be? but will linley take action this easily? i don’t think so , at the end of CD author said that in his travels linley took on a disciple which i think is the exalted celestial the first one of course(but could be linley himself dunno) more likely it is that disciple who asked him.

+MapleKaiser you had to get that out of your system didn’t you, naughty boys will be punished, don’t just put “SUPER SPOILER” it makes people want to read, you should also put some disclosure note, so people would say “F##K, he warned me like 10 times and I still went and read on it’s my fault.” or just say it like an opinion: “Maybe is FeiFei’s blablabla that blablabla and that’s why blablabla PERIOD”. I’m beign sarcastic with the blas. So like that people wouldn’t even mind until they got to the part of the story and say “Wow some guy actually guessed this in a comment some time ago.” and it’s a win win for everybody, and also spoiling goes against the rules here.

That is just a shortcut actually. Even if they only have access to half of the tear they may become godking. It is like Qin Yu having golden scrolls about formation arrays but in size of a tear and much greater.
